A heavily armed group of Middle Eastern looking Muslim men was detained outside Los Angeles after opening fire upon hikers and campers in a large State Park in the area.

THIS STORY HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW WITH AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

SuperStation95(h/t Mike F) Photos taken by one of the victims of the attack have been supplied to SuperStation95 as have screen shots of MMS messages sent/received during the incident. They appear below. No word yet from authorities about the identities or affiliation of the men arrested. The Adelanto, CA Police Department effectuated the arrests.

According to the victim/witness, there were two groups of men, about 15 per group, armed with heavy weapons, who began shouting “Allah u Akbar” and started firing. The firing allegedly lasted upwards of TWO HOURS before police were able to find callers in the vast California parkland.

When police were responding, one group of 15 or so men took-off into the hills, while the other group was captured by police. According to one of the victim/witnesses, his cellphone GPS map indicates below where the incident took place:

Police responded and quickly made several arrests as shown in the photos below.

A call to the Adelanto, CA Police Department went to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and a new “twist” developed.” Kathy, from that department told SuperStation95 “I checked on this and the incident was unfounded.” When told we had photos of almost ten police cars and fourteen men in handcuffs, Kathy responded “You’ll have to contact the Public Information Officer” and gave us an e-mail address to do so!

Deputies respond to the report of shots fired in the Deep Creek Hot Springs area of Apple Valley

DATE/TIME: March 27, 2016 / 8:25am

INCIDENT: Incident

LOCATION: Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley

SUMMARY: On Sunday, March 27, 2016, at about 8:25 am, deputies from the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station responded to reports of shots fired in the Deep Creek Hot Springs area of Apple Valley. The reporting party told the 911 operator more than 100 shots were heard and 5 to 7 subjects wearing turbans were seen in the area shooting assault rifles, handguns, and shotguns.

Due to this being a very rural location, Sheriff’s Aviation assisted to conduct an area check for the alleged shooters while patrol units from the Victor Valley Station responded. The sheriff’s helicopter arrived and located a group of males, 17 total, walking away from the creek carrying back packs and other items. Deputies from Apple Valley, Hesperia, and Victorville Police Stations also responded to assist.

Shortly after deputies arrived to the area the subjects were detained and searched. Several handguns, a rifle, and a shotgun were found during a search of the backpacks and bedding the subjects had been carrying. The subjects were very cooperative and were interviewed. A local FBI agent responded to assist with interviews. A records check of the subjects, their weapons, and their vehicles was completed. The records check revealed none of the subjects had a criminal history or outstanding warrants, the weapons were registered with the Department of Justice except for the rifle, and the vehicles were also registered.

Several hikers were contacted, but none of them witnessed the guns being fired. There was no evidence found that a crime had been committed by any of the subjects who were detained and they were released.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is urged to contact Deputy S. Scranton or Sergeant D. Rodriguez at (760)552-6800. Callers wishing to remain anonymous are urged to call the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463) or online at www.wetip.com.

First, there’s a difference between being arrested and being detained. Common practice to handcuff detainees while sorting out the facts, but that’s for officer safety and does not constitute arrest. Firearms are legal to carry and shoot in national parks. If a complainant had come forward, someone possibly would have been charged and arrested. I chalk most of this brouhaha up to this being so cal. Someone from the big city went out for the day and heard gunfire and freaked out. Don’t forget, the parks in CA are filled with adamant anti gun ownership day users. If there was no evidence of threats, illegal discharge or any unregistered weapons, I’d rather they were released than I would forfeit my 2nd Amendment Rights.

I’m about as anti islam as one can get. I also cc and sometimes, in National Forests and Parks carry long arms. Where I live, you can hear frequent gunfire almost every other day: people sighting in, shooting at coyotes and snakes, target shooting etc. If we were all arrested every time that we discharged a weapon, we’d all be in jail. Whoever they are, they were checked out, weapons checked and they are now in FBI database. That’s the best LE could have done, unless we are all willing to answer o’asshat’s call to turn in our guns and forfeit our own rights. If people were smart, they’d seek out training, arm themselves and carry. That way, they could shoot back .

Sensitive issue that doesn’t smell right. I mean in an area where someone was shooting at me, yes, I would do my best to exit. Extrication is always the best defense, but, why would this person not show up at a ranger station or sheriff’s substation? I’m not saying that it didn’t happen, just that there should be at least one witness. Or, moslems are notorious for their ineptitude with firearms. They’re great at close range when they can do a spray, not at marksmanship. Get tired of comments that blame LE. They do have to work within the law. The day is approaching when anarchy could reign, but until that time, we can’t forfeit our rights because an unidentified caller makes accusations. In that situation, my first concern would be that it was one of these men who made the call in order to set up an ambush on LE.

Here in Australia – just as they do this in all the kind host countries, the very same sort of rot goes on.
e.g The Police make up a serious MEOC squad, in charge of shootings etc.
So these people (with no respect for the law – lucky our officers here unlike some Europe countries at least have guns, this is their best respect – being armed while at work) make turmoil every way they can.
Ok – so these criminals (of course we can’t say it is all any ethnic group, where is the evidence? – but this is right down their alley) – they fire bullets into a door or just up in the air and leave the empty shell casings on the ground – for the police to get the evidence and create a crime scene… So regular this becomes – that all the MEOC squad resources are taken up, going to crime scenes and achieving nothing.
So, this scenario – these rotten people your country kindly accepted get their kicks out of terrorising people. You said two groups. So after 2 hours of their terror training (which thankfully did not physically hurt anyone) and using 2 groups.
When the police come, one group with no criminal records happily hand themselves to police – While I imagine group 2 ran away with all the dangerous firearm weapons and the like. Group one just happily tied up and wasted the police resources & were let go, being apparently – good people and I guess no evidence.
Police here and all over the world let these people go – as they are in the too hard basket to deal with – and I myself do not pretend if I were an officer, that I would be some sort of Chuck Norris texas ranger stratagy & dealing with anything that comes along. They are bloody damned bad people to deal with.
One can say, if our law enforcement do not start dealing with the more minor problems these people get away with – where you and I would not get away with it – then it simply is allowing them to bring on the next worse level of violence e.g The next time they are at a park yelling “Alla.. Akbar” or the like, it will more likely to be for real.
So the police let them go.
Western society can’t deal with these people and if things don’t change, they will get more and more their own way and do more and more bad things.
At a company level, while I was working (and I as a proper honest worker as most of us are) and I had a Manager of the IT department who with his Islam beliefs set me up to make me look like I had defrauded the company. These people specialise in spreading lies…
Well, I got retrenched with a restraint order to never approach that company and packs of Islam thugs after me all in one.
I then received help from a kind business man I pleaded help from.
This Islam IT manger was then sacked and a radio station taunted the scum person for some time on the radio.
You see, It was this person, his cousin he hired and a prior Indian network employee (I can say for sure) along with the rest of his middle eastern crime network that were involved in the late 90s in ripping off this company, oh and stealing from me, a nice girl who liked me.
So an eye for an eye you might say. The ownly thing is, I had done nothing wrong in the first place.
Ok – this will surprise a lot of people who read this. The day after this dirty grub was sacked, the companies AS400 computer system was DEAD. No could start it. I don’t know much more, as they had already got rid of me. i.e when did they get the thing going again? These people had already stolen the systems back up tapes (evidence all gone) and therefore I believe no way to restore the system – so I can imagine only the dilema.
This is the real surprise for you. I being happy the filthy grub at least lost his job and humiliated – Well one or two weeks after his dismissal he went back to the parent company with threats like “If you do not re-hire me, I will pull out all the programmers” Yes these grubs have their paws in all the pots – They were all hired under his employment agency.
The company took the grubs bluff, and had some contract made up, saying he will get one million dollars – less some penalties if the computer malfunctions or has unplanned down time over the next year.
So how is that for extortion – Rob a company. Not be put in Jail. and Instead be handed ONE MILLION DOLLARS and a please – welcome back.
I have learned over the last 20 years, these people are all alike. It does not matter how much you pay them – to me, it appears each and every one of them – all look for ways to rip off our companies and society, along with all their other crimes.
If law enforcement do not start dealing with the smaller things they do now, then do not expect things to get better if they do not.
It is like, if you don’t stop that person killing animals which the sicko gets a kick out of, then he may evolve to killing people.
The easiest thing for Governments to do for our law enforcement in the very least – Is to STOP further immigration of these people. Clearly you all demonstrate you can’t deal with them & this has to change. But for now, stop making our law enforcements jobs even harder, by letting even more in!
Stop the bad immigration now.

Were all these guys “Hispanic Muslims,” just trying to find out how differently they will be treated if they are Obama’s pet terrorist Islamofascists?
Or were they all or mostly Moslems from the Middle East. Too bad we don’t have a free press that can provide us with information of that nature.

All the weapons and vehicles are registered, except there was one unregistered rifle. Here’s what I think. Oh by the way, were these people illegal aliens or recent arrivals from who knows where?
But look, if they are illegals, or recent immigrants, coming in with Obama’s help, guess what? they don’t have to worry about that, because all they say is, yeah, I am not a citizen, so what? Obama would not let anyone stop a Moslem supremacist, no matter what. The only way they get stopped is with a bullet, and then whoever does that would probably have hell to pay.
But so, they fire their weapons, they watch how the cops handle it. The cops say, are those registered? And yes, they’re all registered. Except for that rifle. See, they all are okey dokey. Because illegal immigrants can register firearms just like anyone else. It is probably a test to see if it is actually true, to see if the USA is stupid enough to allow ILLEGAL ALIENS to run around shooting all over the place, with a REGISTERED batch of firearms, and even one UNREGISTERED firearm.
That way, they can put out the alert via cell phone, all over the USA, West Coast, East Coast, Midwest, via mass text message alert etc–: EVERYONE GO TO THE STORE, ARM YOURSELVES and pay with your credit card (completely free money which will never be paid back, I can guarantee you that, just like the funding of the San Bernardino massacre).
So now, they have learned that yes, we are that stupid, we let ILLEGALS buy guns to kill us with, right here in the USA, with “funny money” which is FREE because the USA is helping our ENEMIES get set up in the USA so why would they deny them the right to have credit cards?
So they can go and get their guns, register them, even if they just fell off the turnip truck, and get all the ammo they need including the stuff that goes 4700 feet per second (yes, it’s available of course, to our enemies, why wouldn’t it be).
And that unregistered gun? Well, the cop would say, “Well guys, everything’s in order here, so just get that rifle registered on Monday, and you’ll be all set. Just fire off in that direction, there aren’t any houses over that way, there’s a good terrorist. Yes, all the houses are over that ridge there, that’s right…”

Yea Jay
That line of thinking is right down the alley these scums are doing and right in line to my similar thinking.
And our Governments & Laws let them, encourage them, and as well protect them.
After the next probable massacre – the stupid Governments around the world will then welcome the next batch of scum – with the mind set that this should now please them and cling to hope – or do some useless praying – that everything will now be good.

Could have been firing blanks, or firing bullets but not firing directly at anyone. This would be a sort of nondangerous “terrorizing” incident to test response time etc. Next time they will know how long they have to move out after slaughtering a few hundred people or more in that area. Then they can blast away for a certain specified time period (or even longer, because the police will be less fired up about responding the second time, figuring it’s the same type of thing all over again). If they know precisely or very close to the actual maximum time, they can fire away and get away with it also; they can expect to have, say, a full 12 minutes of killing time; then stop and get the hell out of there by the route not used for approach by the cops or military. If I was in that area I would be more alert from now on, not less alert. The danger is not over with.

Deep Creek Hot Springs …. how deep is your love …. never been there myself …. but, I think it is a clothing optional bathing area …. you have to hike down …. you get mellow as Jello in the hot water …. then the hard part …. not that hard part …. the other hard part …. where you have to hike back up to your car …. after outdoor sex …. there is plenty for Muslims to get offended about …. especially if the losers didn’t bring dates …. nor goats ?

San Bernardino is very close to Apple Valley. The police warned there are cells all over the area. A friend was warned against going to local malls by people connected to the police. The SB jihad killers certainly had outside help and neighbors saw a lot of traffic in and out of their condo as well as suspicious activities. The country is full of jihad training camps ready to strike and the authorities do nothing to protect the American citizens from the savage jihadis. All we hear in the news is, We can’t do this, We can’t do that. These bastards will have us all killed , just as it’s going on in Europe now. There is more concern in protecting the rights of the poor innocent muslims than the American people. I am sure these creeps in Apple Valley are up to something…and it’s not good.more innocent people will pay with their lives, and right away the SOBs will say it’s nothing to do with islam and those are lone wolves..and f— the victims.

this accident nothing to do with islam,look at the picture of those bunch of middle east men just poor,stigmatized moslimes that want to enjoy their hard earned vacation on countryside. Then how about guns found in their backpacks? you asked, well there is thing like “cultural difference” it seem normal to moslime to bring assorted weapons on their vacation trip,something that impossible to filthy kaffir like you and me to understand. You said they shooting other hikers and campers while shouting allah u akbar? well once again like I said previously,that islamic thingie,I guess that their way to greet everyones and about the shout I think one of the lovely moslime just promoting his new opened shop “Aloha Snackbar” and those islamophobe hikers misheard it . you understand? now shut up and go eat your popcorn,nothing happen move along!

F.T.S.!!!! ALWAYS stay armed and stay the hell out of Calipornia and another libtard bastion of ignorance!
Those sand fleas would have been coughing up blood if an armed Patriot were around. But then, it WAS Calipornia so no Patriots would be there……..

Huh? Seems like 2 different versions here. No hikers or campers reported seeing shots fired and yet the BNI headline says people were shot at? Who heard the shouts of the “Muslims”? Sikhs also wear turbans and yet in the photos, none of the detained men are wearing them! What’s up with that?

I live in a rural area and the sounds of gun fire are common. In fact, at times I am the one doing the shooting! Been here doing this for nearly 30 years and no one has ever checked me out and I am not a Muslim or would I be mistaken for one.

I ‘am not sure why these guys should be arrested if what they were doing wasn’t endangering anyone. I guess that’s the consideration or is it?

A person can go all paranoid if they want to, but I’ve spent time in certain remote areas of S. Cal. firing various weapons for hours and no one ever showed up there either. I guess it is the fact that these guys look Middle Eastern. Maybe they are “terrorists” in training and maybe police should be worried but they were most likely let go because they weren’t doing anything against the law…..”no evidence of a crime being committed, so they were let go”! There you have it!

That’s the rub with our 2nd Amendment. We can’t say that only white people of adult age can own, possess and shoot firearms!

Moslems, always playing right on the edge, can’t say it is, can’t say it isn’t. Who knows at this point? Cops lie, media lies, politicians lie, moslems lie. I’m sure we’ll find out sooner or later. There’ll probably be bodies when we do.

Apple CFO is too busy billing and receiving payments from ISIS Finance Minister for services rendered. Apple’s CEO is busy protesting LGBT laws in the United States while ISIS commanders are throwing LGBT people off rooftops to their death.

Some thing sounds really fishy to me. Turbans, the rest of the shooters were are they? WTF? and the ones held were let go. Did the cops even search the area, did they look for the other shooters. There are too many questions.

I think that all this will start happening now because of the coming election and Obama will get his third term , this has been a planned event and many lives are in danger.. l expected this . I think we all did..

Communism and Islam is now the part that comes together as war against the American People… I even expect the drone killing on the American people…
